It’s getting a bit boring now. The mung burger comments were funny to begin with. Whilst I dont mind a bean burger, the reality is a drive a diesel van and hate Just Stop Oil’s tactics as much as you do. it’s a very simple question. He said Liberal twats and remainers have got us in a hole. I’m only asking how. Any examples from either of you? Now come on. Obstructionism by remainers has been plain to see in all facets of political discourse. If you need an example none would be bigger than this. A big mistake to let Remainers into the cabinet in the first place. It has gone downhill from there. They have been running interference all the way through in the vain hope of someday rejoining the bureaucratic nightmare. Why else would the four thousand and odd bits of EU legislation they promised to bin be reduced to six hundred and odd recently? W63 is correct about the sinister influence of remainers close to the levers of power. Pretty sure when W63 refers to Liberals he means of the bleeding heart variety and not those useless centrist fucktards who are neither use nor ornament. The latter treacherous bastards wanted to overturn the democratic will of the people so suppose he could have been referring to them with strong justification. Next.

BobyBrno Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 Talking about the decision to take us into the EU (it was the Common Market then) the Heath government took us in without a vote. Wilson’s government gave us all a vote to stay in. Around 2/3 of those of us that voted chose to stay. Then, as now, it was the peoples choice. Remember also that Cameron’s government put forward an expensive campaign to remain. Every household received the government’s recommendation to stay. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/515068/why-the-government-believes-that-voting-to-remain-in-the-european-union-is-the-best-decision-for-the-uk.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is we were doing well for 40+ years as part of the EU and not that well since. So what is the “hole” that W63 is referring to?

As I said, the voters decided to keep us in his ‘hole’ The voters decided on where we are now. I voted to remain both times. Maybe of no relevance but maybe context to my comments on here.

You don't half get twitchy about your age. The point is my kids are going to have to deal with the mess that the baby boomer generation has left them all the while that generation has benefitted from living through one of the most peaceful and prosperous times in human history - and then has the lack of self awareness to blame younger generations for the situations they have been placed in. From higher eduction fees, to house prices to the environment to brexit. The arrogance of the baby boomers is all over - so yes, I make no apologies - fuck off old twats, your old road is rapidly ageing, please get out of the new one if you can't lend a hand.

It was a tight vote, with no clear direction on how it would pan out on the ballot. Banning remainers from the discourse would have achieved nothing. I agree that it all went on too long. I disagree that it was undemocratic or treacherous 😂ffs It was all carried out in parliament and ultimately it was ended democratically through another election.
